About

Our Mission

Harding Academy strives to be a Christ-centered school that cultivates a love for learning, while educating the heart and mind for eternity.

While our primary goal is to assist each child in his or her walk with God through obedience to His commands, second is our devotion to the development of each child's talents to his or her fullest potential.

Our Vision

Harding Academy will be recognized as a leader in advancing Christ-centered living and learning through its spiritual development, high quality academics, and co-curricular programs for prekindergarten through 12th grade students.

An Emphasis on Service

We are called as a Christian school to prepare our students to be "salt and light" in this world. We believe all students have potential to use their God-given strengths and talents to their fullest use in His service. Whether it is in worship, service, or academic endeavors, we want to deliver a unique, Christ-centered experience for our students. One that will help them grow as Jesus did . . . in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man.

Harding Academy is a place for spiritual formation. Through its Bible classes and Student Association students are involved with service projects throughout the year.
